Don't Think Fleas are Gone - Keep up your Winter Treatment!

Don't be fooled into thinking that because it is winter, all of your flea issues are gone. If you have not been using a monthly flea product like Frontline, Sentinel, or Revolution, you probably have a "bio-mass" living in the environment that your pet occupies. This "bio-mass" consists of eggs, cocoons (pupae), and larvae of the flea population. They are all "waiting" for the right conditions to pop out into adults and begin to torment you AND your pet. Give the flea product monthly all year-round and avoid this problem. Also, if you are beginning the product, expect to see fleas at least 21 days after the first application. If you do, we can give one or two doses of a supplemental product, but keep up the original product...it's working! Call us any time for advise.
